Testimonials

Helen’s feedback on my prose was helpful and appreciated. She pointed out some of my tendencies to overdescribe, and I recognised her professionalism in giving feedback as it mirrored the kind of feedback I’d got previously from my MA tutor.

When selecting an editor, what every aspiring author needs is an objective wordsmith to hone their narrative to perfection, to eliminate redundancy and verbosity, focus on the cadence of the story and arouse the reader’s intrigue by maintaining the tension, so that turning the page is irresistible.A good editor knows it is not just the logic of the plot or the shrewdly observed characterisations that create the successful story, but how the fabric is woven – the ability to use the best word, to conjure immediacy, create action, stay relentlessly on ‘message’ while gradually building to a climax.

Some professional editors make the process so brutal that motivation is stifled, the creative spirit quenched. This is why I so enjoy working with Helen. She will subtly sharpen your text by suggesting slight but clever edits. The improvement will inspire you, carry you forward to tackle the more basic challenges – strengthening characterisations, clarifying the plot, refining the dénouement – with greater determination and creativity. On the practical side, she will give you a deadline, and stick to it. Her charges are reasonable, and she will discuss her recommendations. Thank you, Helen!

Thanks a lot for your editing of my paper. Your corrections are very detailed and fantastic. That really helps me a lot with my paper and English writing. I know it took you much time and effort to do the work. I don’t know what to say, thanks a lot!

Mr S. Baek, Seoul, Korea

I want to thank you Helen for a job well done, without your input and effort this book wouldn’t have become the success it is today. Have got many private emails of readers sharing how this book is transforming their lives and you are a big part of this success story! Looking forward to working with you on the second project. You are a gem and keep on shining!

I had just written my first essay for my degree after a long break and feeling unsure about what I had written I asked Helen to read it through for me. She read it, corrected some spelling and grammar errors but particularly helped with advice on structuring the introduction. I think that her help helped me achieve a first class pass for that first essay which has boosted my confidence in writing for the following essays.

Miss J. Crick, Kent, UK

(Helen) is reliable and trustworthy. I am certainly satisfied with the work she did with me…she is the best teacher I have ever found for proofreading and creative writing.

Mrs M. Battistella, Italy

Ms K. Matoa, London, UK

Thank you once again for such an amazing piece and excellent customer service.
I am very pleased with what I have received.
You go over and beyond and
your effort does really show through your work.

Mr M. Shakti, Midlands, UK

I am hugely impressed with Helen’s work and very lucky to have stumbled across her website.
I am a complete novice in the writing world and also have dyslexia. I am grateful that, not only did she do the job fantastically, she offered advice and support along the way in relation to all areas of writing, editing, submitting. I have learnt a lot. Her constructive criticism was always kind and helpful but honest. I will definitely be using Helen for further work and look forward to doing so.
I was also hugely grateful for her payment options. As a single parent working alongside writing, employing an editor for my book seemed like a pipedream. However, with Helen’s support and payment options I was able to get my novel finished and all my hard work did not go to waste. She approached the situation with kindness and the offer of genuine help. She understood the importance of my manuscrpt and I could be confident it was in safe hands with Helen.
Huge Thanks and I look forward to working with you again

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your feedback on my novel. I appreciate all the points raised and the level of detail you have included in your critique, which will help me improve my work.

Helen edited my first novel two months ago. I opted for an in depth edit and I was and still am really happy with the results. Over two months or so we had regular contact (e-mail and telephone) to discuss her progress and suggestions.

I soon realised that it would be best to just let her get on with it and it was the right decision. The finished manuscript read better and was much improved. I’m in the process of submission right now. She gave me a fair price, I took up her offer and there was no hidden cost. Helen is plain speaking and thorough. Her service was first class.
